Re: Edit Masks -Reply

[Chris Snow <chris_snow@EMAIL.MSN.COM>]

My fault - that made look dumb. That was just sloppy e-mail. I should have
come up with a more
accurate example. Sorry. I could have just as easily used a numeric (#) and
actually
noticed the goof up AFTER I sent the message.

Nonetheless, I did apply some of the group's suggestions like moving the
column variable values to numeric variables - but to no avail.  It's not
just the dollar mask either.  Numeric masks produce the same mark (`) over
the comma position where that value is shorter than the comma position.

Again, if the edit mask is 999,999 and the value being printed is, say 500,
what is printed is    `500
Help!

why are you moving the number to a database variable (&).  you should
move it to a number or a string, then it should work fine.
